*116. Picus villosus, e. harrisi, And. — Harris's Woodpecker. 



This is a common summer resident of Big Trees. It is also numerous 

 at Soda Springs and Summit Meadows in the fall. I have seen it at 

 Murphy's in winter, but not in summer. It breeds but little below Big 

 Trees. I have not seen it in summer below an altitude of 3,500 feet, 

 nor have I ever seen it at Stockton or Marysville.

*117 a. Picus pubescens, ,3. gairdneri, Aud. — Gairdner's Woodpecker. 



This bird was abundant in the willows at Marysville in the winter of 

 1877-78, and was often seen at the same place the following June. 



It appears to be generally distributed in the pine forest, but I have 

 not found it abundant nor even scarcely common.

"118. Picus nuttalli, Ganib. — Nuttall's Woodpecker. 



This is a commou constant resident at Stockton, Murphy's, and 

 Marysville. I have not recognized it in the pine forests. One seen at 

 Marysville in June was red from bill to nape. It was too near to shoot, t 

 The iris of all I shot at Marysville was dark blood-red.
